Our last stop in Miami was to a New York classic – Daniel Boulud’s db Bistro Moderne. So does this count as Miami or New York if it is a chain? We’ll have to head uptown and try db Bistro Moderne to find out! Or not. For those of you who read our disappointing write up on Boulud Sud, you’ll know we are in no rush to hit another Danielle restaurant uptown. Nor were we … Continue reading →

We chose to go to Sugarcane in Midtown Miami on our second last night. I’d seen an Instagram of some pretty nice looking bone marrow and seafood dishes and made a note of it.

We’d actually seen him on a live taping of the Martha Stewart Show and gotten a copy of his cookbook. Locals here will all tell you Michael’s Genuine is one of the few known for consistently amazing food. Of course all the NY big chef chains are … Continue reading →

Day one was rainy and while we were disappointed by that, the food experiences more than made up for it. By evening, we were dining al fresco and the weather had improved enough to hit the pool [by ourselves] for a couple … Continue reading →

Neptune Oyster Boston has the freshest and most amazing seafood EVER. This was on our list of must do places to eat in Boston and its reputation is well deserved. And there are no reservations. We figured dinner would be impossible after having done the waiting thing at Toro one night. We arrived a half hour before opening and got in line. We were somewhere it the middle of the line and landed awesome seats … Continue reading →
